I've never liked tattoos.

I've always given respect to people and their freedom to express themselves.

What I don't like about tattoos is that they are mostly permanent. I don't see the reason in having something like that on your body the whole time. I view it as an accessory and who wears the exact same shoes or earrings or hairstyle or whatever the rest of their lives.

If you get a tattoo because it has a special meaning do you really have to get marked for life for that meaning to be special. A lot of the time the origin of that meaning changes while the tattoo remains the same.

I think it makes much more sense to celebrate something with a temporary tattoo. Treat it EXACTLY like a fashion accessory. Have something special done, celebrate it and then remove it later.

For me there is nothing more beautiful than a woman with clean, unmarked skin which is becoming increasingly rare. Trends come and go and there will be a time when being without tattoos will be chic.

I can see why you would pick the bird for your tattoo but to me it seems silly. I'm sure you don't care what I think and you're doing it for yourself. If you're really doing it for yourself, do you have to put a permanent tattoo on yourself for your name to have meaning?
